Today the IRC Tire Guy gives his thoughts on the 2025 KX250X in Technical riding situations

All action shots are done with the Insta360 X4 camera.

Don't forget about the 2025 Honda 250RX too. It's supposed to be updated again. Shootout between the top 3 Japanese 250FX manufacturers for hard enduro or technical enduro riding.

You could probably make a goldwing work

Hello IRC tire Guy - I enjoy following you, it would be very interesting to see your opinion on GPX 2stroke bike. keep up the good job.

I think this video was best because of the technical instructions for general enduro. It’s cool to see kawi in the mix they are left out a lot but are capable

[jimji]

Wow that was a training course as much as a review. So good to compare the strengths and weaknesses of different rides. Now I want to see you do that same technical route on the Varg please.

[peterodonohue]

Seriously Rich, you make it look so bloody easy. You could ride a Aussie Postie bike up there mate!!! The KX does look like a pretty capable bike for probably 95% of what is will be asked to do by us mere mortals of riders.

[harleymichael]

Yes, would really like to see the comparison between the Kawai and the Yam 250 4t. And the new Triumph 2504T that Johnny Walker is working on with Triumph that was luanched when available in the states.

Your videos are amazing!! So much to learn! Thanks!

Obviously you know this, but I didn’t hear you mention it in this particular video, a heavier flywheel might give the slower drop in rpm and lower chance of stalling that you prefer from a two stroke… Trials bikes have very heavy flywheels, relatively, for this reason… Again, I completely understand that this is specialising in the totally obvious!.. And if this has been mentioned already apologies…

I’m really looking forward to getting out and practicing some of the awesome techniques I’ve learned from watching!!🫡

Best 4t v. 2t nuances explanation ever

It would be great to see a video breaking down the ECU tuning. My WR450 has something similar but I don't know much about it. Thanks Rich!

[ActivelifeHappylife]

Not my style of riding but I have so much respect for your talent riding and teaching.

@IRCTireUSAMoto Phenomenal video. I would love to see the same thing with a camera on your clutch so that not only am I hearing your process but I have a visual to complement the engine note. Keep up the strong work! 👊🏽✊🏽

[chrisvozza]

Very nice vid. I'm surprised the bike didn't stall as much as I thought it was going to. Those setting really came into play well . 12tooth front and richined up that engine

[learningtofly]

Super Vid! Yes Rich, it will be very interesting to see if you can reduce stalling with the ecu app!. Thanks!!

[eltonaraujo]

Thanks for the content Rich I'm really grateful

[bradywebb]

YAY FOR 4 STROKE STUFF! I'd like to see how you feel about it on the hard enduro stuff with the normal rear tire you run, and more time testing the stall speed. I'm guessing there is a fan on that thing, and it was putting in some work! 😂

[natefenn]

Love the video Rich, and good to hear an update on the VE33s that you still like it, probably gonna be my next tire! Keep it up homie!

[mikelemayawesometimeallthe]

Love the video! Mapping video would be great!

[JonStpeter]

Hey Rich, I'd love to see 5-10 minutes of that backyard Enduro cross track for building ideas!

[ogasi]

super video man, cool that you can just add or remove fuel in rev ranges via that app 🙂
